Programs

Children and adults may be referred to Above and Beyond Learning Group by parents, school districts, private facilities, medical professionals or other child advocates and human service agencies.

We offer several program options based upon individual need. Each child's schedule of learning activities is designed to meet his or her needs, but all ABLG programs place an emphasis on language development and socialization.

The Early Intervention Program serves children who are 36 months of age or younger at the time of referral. This program is for toddlers with diagnoses of Autism or other related disorders. A program is developed based on a collaborative model of parental and professional input.  The program can either be center-based and/or home-based. 

Pre-school and School-age Program: This program offers children and young adults, ages 3 to 21, individualized pre-academic, academic and socialization programs. Intensive, one-to-one sessions, and small-group activities teach children to relate to home and school environments as well as participating in social situations.

Parents and/or guardians and educational facilities collaborate in identifying each person's goals and in developing an individualized program that best suits the needs of the individual. All interventions are data based; teachers, therapists, and parents directly observe performance and collect data that provide objective feedback and permit ongoing evaluation of the effects of intervention. The individualized programs are continuously being revised or redesigned as needed to assure each young person's continued progress and learning styles.
